It's hard to pick. I mean, I think the one that is most emblematic of the collaboration that occurred is We Know The Way. That's the first song we wrote for the movie [Moana]. We actually got it written that weekend in New Zealand, so we're all in New Zealand, we're all absorbing this culture, and Opetaia [Foa'i] brought it in.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
I feel like style is like accent. You don't hear it on yourself, and then everyone's like, man, you got a strong accent.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
I think you balance the things you've been dying to do all your life. And the opportunities that come along, that you didn't maybe think of, that are so amazing, that you'd kick yourself if you didn't try to be a part of them.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
It's an enormous relief to go to work and be an actor and not be worried about writing.

I'm the music guy, I get to wear the music hat, but being able to be that guy in the room is a thrill at this level and caliber.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
I'm not going to hang out with celebrities, I'm not going to parties. I have two songs due for Moana next week, and I'm going to go and spend some time with Maui and Moana in the ocean, in my mind.
Lin-Manuel Miranda
